hello AK, just curious and wanting to understand further your thought process on HLS. Would knowing about the bumper dividend have changed your decision? I assume the announcement wasn't made yet when you sold.
AK:
Alamak. This is like asking me if I can see the future...
Not a meaningful question ????
Reader:
hahahaha clearly I didn't give a good illustration
put it another way, how would a bumper dividend + increase in price of a stock influence your decision whether to hold/sell/whatever? Do you consider how long it takes under normal circumstances for yearly dividends to cover the bumper dividend? (eg 4 years of dividends for HLS assuming $0.025 per share, to account for $0.100 bumper dividend)
AK:
it is about what we feel is a fair price to pay... some feel that they want to get into HLS even at 60+c and to get the special dividend... ...
